Dear Glenn, I'm afraid neither Josiah Espy or Joseph Fuqua are listed in the book. I remember writing to you before about finding Josiah in Charles Staples's History of Pioneer Lexington where it mentioned that the Journal of Josiah Espy was published in Philadelphia in the fall of 1805. Have you been able to pursue that at all? I did a google search for his name & came up with 111 hits. Seems there's even a town named after a Josiah Espy. (http://www.colcohist-gensoc.org/Essays/Halcyon%20Days%20of%20Espy%20and%20Boating.pdf). Another one quoted him. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohwarren/Beers/III/0252.htm Josiah Espy Quoted Josiah Espy, author of " Memorandums of a Tour in Ohio and Kentucky in 1805," traveled through Warren County. He landed at Columbia July 25, 1805, after a voyage of ten days from Wheeling in the keel-boat "Mary." He visited his brothers, Thomas and David Espy, in Deerfield Township, Warren County, and afterward, his mother, who resided in Greene County, and whom he had not seen for seventeen years. He thus recorded in his journal his impressions :" The emigration to the State of Ohio at this time is truly astonishing. From my own personal observations, compared with the opinion of some gentlemen I have consulted, I have good reason to conclude that during the present year from twenty thousand to thirty thousand souls have entered that State for the purpose of making it their future residence. These are chiefly from Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee, but, on inquiry, you will find some from every State in the Union, including many foreigners. The inhabitants of the State of Ohio being so lately collected from all the States, have, as yet, obtained no national character. The state of society, however, for some years to come, cannot be very pleasant—the great body of the people being not only poor, but rather illiterate. Their necessities will, however, give them habits of industry and labor and have a tendency to increase the morals of the rising generation. This, with that respect for the Christian religion which generally prevails among that class of people now emigrating to the State, will lay the best foundation for their future national character. It is to be regretted, however, that at present few of them have a rational and expanded view of the beauty, excellency and order of that Christian system, the essence of which is Divine wisdom. The great body of the people will, therefore, it is to be feared, be a party for some years to priestcraft, fanaticism and religious enthusiasm." Another site, http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohwarren/Bogan/bogan210.htm wrote: In 1805 my great uncle, Josiah Espy, found Clark living in a lonely cabin on Clark's grant. Espy had served as a clerk in the War Department in the first administration of Washington and had often seen the first president. He wrote: "General Clark has now become frail and rather helpless, but there are the remains of great dignity and manliness in his countenance, person and deportment and I was struck on seeing him with, perhaps a fancied likeness to the great and immortal Washington." I don't know if any or all of these are your Josiah Espy, but it's interesting reading. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Roxanne
